NL town suffers second major landslide

Odd that only last month, the provincial government stopped paying assistance to people thrown out of their homes by the last emergency. The province also refused any financial assistance to people who could not return to their homes because of safety concerns.

Lucky for them, their houses have now fallen into the ocean.

Jack Byrne, the provincial municipal affairs minister, is now talking about getting the feds to compensate the homeowners.
